Pref ace
“ Live as if you were to die tomorrow , learn as if you were to live forever ”
Mahatma Gandhi
Volume 4 of this 5 volume series adds various studies on phytoremediation of
organic contaminants from terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. In this volume, some
examples on applications of phytoremediation in wastewater engineering technol-
ogy have been provided. Various studies on natural and constructed wetlands for
phytoremediation have also been included in this volume. The importance of phy-
toremediation in reclamation and restoration of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems
has been described. Information on uptake, tolerance mechanisms and the role of
grasses in phytoremediation of various organic contaminants has also been pro-
vided. Plant microbe interactions, bio-retention systems, phenolic compounds and
enzymatic applications in phytoremediation of contaminated soil and water have
been described in different chapters of this volume. The chapters in volume 4 illus-
trate how phytoremediation applications using constructed wetlands can also serve
in the removal of pathogenic bacteria from contaminated waters. Volume 4 of this
book series provides additional accounts of some selected phytoremediation
research projects and case histories from specifi c sites and/or laboratories. The edi-
tors and contributing authors hope that one result of publishing this book will be to
provide a wide range of useful experimental data derived from global applications
of phytoremediation. Hopefully, like the previous three volumes of this book series
this volume can also provide new insights into the advantages and disadvantages of
phytoremediation to manage the continuing threat of ecosystem degradation result-
ing from anthropogenic inputs of environmental contaminants.
